January 28, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kumbia’s popular “Cheap As Chips” fundraising dinner for the Hall Committee took on an Australia Day feel on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

There was yabby racing (congratulations to Kingaroy’s Ruth Dukes on her winning crustacean!) plus all the usual trivia fun, raffles and games that the volunteers from the Kumbia community turn on at their regular fundraisers.<\/p>\n

Well-known bush poet Barry Offer also took to the microphone to entertain the crowd.<\/p>\n

Lamb, of course, was on the menu as well as the South Burnett’s favourite cuisine item … pork.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And the licensed bar was kept busy!<\/p>\n

Hall committee volunteers Bill and Sandra Steffensen, who have been managing the hall’s huge restumping project, were too busy earlier in the day with dinner arrangements to attend the South Burnett Regional Council’s Australia Day Awards ceremony in Blackbutt.<\/p>\n

This meant local councillor Ros Heit could briefly interrupt proceedings to announce that the couple had won the Local Achiever Award for Kumbia, and presented them with their winning certificate.<\/p>\n

In reply, Bill praised the efforts of all the other members of the hall committee – a very small group of people – who were working hard to achieve positive results in Kumbia.<\/p>\n
